I have a Brother P-touch that is strictly a computer driven printer, no key board. It will use a variety of size and color tapes. Best thing about it is that I've had it since Windows ME and brother has kept the drivers up to date through 10.

Is this a common problem? I'm hoping just a little surface prep with a alcohol wipe would be sufficient prepping prior to their application.

The Casio EZ Label Printer came in today. Thanks for the info and ideas. The tape it came with was black on clear and it's OK but I ordered some black on white to make it easier to read. It took some time to figure out how to peal off the label from the backing, old fumble fingers finds it difficult to do.

I've already labeled the Auto Disks with "ON" and "OFF" and it looks so much better than permanent marker. Next the Auto drum and several organizational bins.

The batteries are holding up so far but you mentioned a power cord? Where did you get it for your unit or maybe I should ask what kind of transformer did you get to replace the batteries?

Good question. I'm always hoarding plugs to steal transformers from for my crazy gadgets.

I googled "Casio MYMODELNUMBER 115V adapter" and a bunch came up, most on eBay or Amazon. Use the model number of your unit. If you have any on hand, it is pretty easy to find out if they are going to work. None of mine did.

It hasn't been. On labels that have high hand contact, I always place a length of clear Scotch tape over them. I'm just not sure what the wear will be like with the drums because of the angles and the material.

How did GarlyDog get his labeled Auto disk to line up like this? I can only get one label or the other to line up with the either the on or the off but not both.
